in aberfan, police are saying they should avoid the area if possible. now, back to our top story. the latest on the israel—gaza war. the united nations is warning that "an even more hellish "scenario is about to unfold" in the gaza strip with the world health organisation saying the situation is getting worse by the hour. the israeli military is intensifying its ground operations in the south with what it described as aggressive actions against hamas and other armed groups in khan younis. this is some of the latest footage from the israel defense forces. it's also released a video of ground troops moving through buildings shooting at hamas in gaza. we don't know where or when it was filmed but take a look. lieutenant colonel richard hecht from the idf gave this update on israel's military campaign. since the hostilities have returned we are expanding our operations against hamas across all of gaza. we are targeting operatives, infrastructure, and mainly the tunnel network. so far we have located over 800 tunnel shafts and destroyed 500 of these. the level of fortification is unprecedented. while we have been operating we are ensuring that there is minimum harm to civilians, with soldiers on the ground going from building to building. leaflets are reported to have been dropped in and around khan younis warning people that there is going to be a major military operation in the coming hours. you'll remember that khan younis is a city that israel told civilians to flee to for safety, earlier in the conflict. hospitals say they're overwhelmed with new arrivals. we want to show you some pictures from inside one hospital in khan younis but a warning you may find them distressing as they do show injured children being treated on the floors. doctors and medical staff at the nasser hospital say they are struggling to treat the influx of injured patients. you can see that the young patients are being treated on the floors. ambulances and private cars are being used to bring wounded people to the medical facility. james elderfrom unicef has recently returned from gaza. he told us what he had witnessed. hospitals is absolute war zones. you know, blood streaming on the floor, children with multiple wounds, the burns, gareth, you see on a little boy or girl, but the burns come with shrapnel. and then, of course, those people who are not, who have not, are not in hospitals are fleeing. they're in panic. you know, every time you turn a corner, there's a new suburb that has 5000 people who've made a makeshift home. they simply don't know where to go. there's an anxiety that is palpable among people because every time they move, they're moving to somewhere further away from those other essentials of life. so people in khan younis are now having to decide what to do. some are packing up what belongings they have. 0ne resident who spoke to the reuters newsagency said he felt there was no safe place in the gaza strip but added "we head "to wherever we think there might be a bit of safety." getting through to people in gaza to hear first hand accounts can be hard due to the lack of mobile phone signals. but our colleagues at bbc radio 4 managed to reach ghada al kurd. she she is 37 and a mother of two. she is living in a tent in khan younis having been displaced several times in the last 7 weeks. she told my colleague about the conditions there. we are waiting one hour in the morning to go to toilet. but we decided to go, normal, near to the tent. what about food 7 we had to go far away to the markets to bring some food. maybe two kilometres or three kilometres. and air strikes everywhere. so we are taking the risk. there is no fruit. meat is very rare. we cannot bring meat. and it is very expensive. it is triple, nowadays, the prices. some people are coming to sell some food, but it is not enough. and what about money? does your family have cash? do you still have access to banks? it is very difficult. there was some cash for the first month, second month. but now it is almost finished. even the bank accounts, we cannot go to the banks. even western union. we have to wait a couple of hours to get some money. what are you prepared for? do you think you might end up having to move again? we are discussing this in the morning, me and my sister. i said to her, where to go? the fifth place that we are evacuating to. we were in gaza city, then we moved to al—shifa hospital, then we move to middle area. they are going to say, carry all of your stuff. this is their winter season. how do you think this will end? to explain or analyse what will happen, next step, now, we are looking for our own safety. are we able to go back to gaza, north gaza, even the middle area? 0k, we will be able to rebuild our homes, our restaurant, everything over there. how can we live there? there is no life over there stop no one has the answer to this question. that was a resident in khan younis talking to my colleague on bbc radio 4. more on that story on the bbc website. the home secretary james cleverly is in rwanda — where he will sign a new asylum treaty with the country. he's been visiting the genocide museum in the capitali kigali. the government hopes the treaty will restart plans to send some asylum seekers there to have their claims processed — after the supreme court ruled against the policy. the uk government is putting more measures in place, that could include allowing parliament to vote and confirm rwanda is a safe destination for asylum seekers who come to the uk. on monday, mr cleverly outlined plans to reduce legal migration to the uk — which included increasing the salary which skilled workers would need before they could get a visa, by almost a half. 0ur political editor chris mason is travelling with the home secretary and sent this update from kigali. home secrretary arrived here in kigali, the rwandan capital, in the last couple of hours. he is the third home secretary to visit rwanda in around about 18 months. priti patel came out here in april of last year as well. suella braverman was out here in the spring of this year. now comes james cleverly. so three home secretaries, but no migrants yet arriving here. why? well, there was a rejection in the supreme court of the latest iteration of the government's plan last month. and so the hoped for solution for ministers perspective is a treaty, an international agreement between rwanda and the uk that will be signed in the next couple of hours. and central to that treaty is addressing the principal concern set out by the supreme court. and this is a concern that any migrants that were sent here could end up being sent back to their home country or to another country. and the aim of this treaty and the new laws that will accompany it, both here in rwanda and in the uk, aims to ensure that that isn't possible. so that is the centrepiece. there'll be other details that we'll get in the coming hours. the government still hopes and says that it wants to get migrants on planes to rwanda by the spring. quite a few people are pretty sceptical about that kind of timescale, but obviously there is an election looming and being seen to address the issue of small boats with this flagship policy of rwanda that has failed so far is seen as absolutely essential to that. 0ur correspondent mayeni jones is in the capital kigali. it isa it is a packed day for the home secretary, he will only be spending if you are is in the capital, kigali. he will be visiting the british high commission and taking a tour of the genocide memorial, that was erected to commemorate the 1994 genocide here in luanda. —— in luanda. —— rwanda. very much an image rwanda want to present to the world, it is a modern country, one of africa's fastest developing economies, but critics are members of the opposition says the country is not yet in a position to accept asylum seekers, is still a developing nation, should be taken care of its owner. they have also been concerns raised by human rights groups as to whether asylum seekers sent here would be treated fairly, would be given a fair shot, or would be sent back to countries that could potentially be dangerous. these are all criticism that the rand and government has dismissed, it says this country is perfectly safe —— that the government of rwanda. let's look at some other stories making news in the uk. thames water has announced it made a profit of £188 million pounds in the six months to september. but the company remains under severe financial pressure due to its debts, and says it will take time to turn the situation around. the uk's largest water company will deal with debts which rose by 7% to £14.7 billion. the uk government has suffered a defeat in the commons — its first since 2019 — over delays in compensation payments to victims of the nhs contaminated blood scandal. ministers will now have to set up a body to run the scheme within three months of a new bill becoming law. thousands of patients were given tainted blood products in the 1970s and �*80s. new guidance states trans women who have hurt or threatened women or girls will not be held in female prisons unless there are exceptional circumstances. the scottish prison service policy follows a public outcry after a rapist was sent to a women's prison. well, let's move on to dubai where ministers from more than 60 countries have been meeting at the c0 p28 climate summit. today's focus is energy and industry, just transition, and indigenous peoples. it comes as environment campaigners say a record number of delegates from the coal, gas and oil industries are attending the summit. now, a report by a coalition of green groups called kick big polluters 0ut, says almost two and a half thousand people from companies linked to fossil fuels are there — that's four times the number at last year's conference in egypt. we've been speaking to helen clarkson, the ceo of the climate group. she explained why the increasing presence of people linked to fossils fuels at the summit is sending a mixed message to people there as well as around the world. it is disappointing to see them getting in here. one of the issues is that we know that the fossil fuel companies have been behind a lot of the disinformation. the saying things that are not helpful in terms of revenue to get to, which is to phase out fossil fuel, the world needs a credible track out of fossil fuel addiction. we have seen great track on renewables, but fossil fuels will have to come down, we have to see a way out of it. 0ur correspondent carl nasman is there for us and has more now the latest developments. the focus in dubai remains on the future of fossil fuels. record number of representatives from fossil fuel companies number of representatives from fossilfuel companies in number of representatives from fossil fuel companies in attendance this year at cop28. four times a number of previous years. that is part of the design. the president of cop28 is also the ceo of one of the biggest oil companies in the world. he has promised to bring oil and gas companies to the table to try to reduce emissions. the question is, how far can that goal? what are today, we saw a sneak peek of a text, work in progress for a final agreement that may come out of this summit. and you can see they are in black—and—white, between the margins, that one of the biggest sticking points for these negotiations will be the fate of fossil fuels and whether or not countries can agree to completely phase them out. about 100 countries say they will be pushing for that, but there are questions about how the presence of so many oil and gas companies will affect any kind of text that comes out of the summit. over—the—air software updates ensure that autopilot gets even better... this is how tesla wants its autopilot software to be seen, assisting a human driver who is ultimately still in control. but when former employee lucasz krupski voiced concerns he felt about safety in his own workplace, and later on with the tech itself, his dream job turned into a nightmare. i became very depressed and anxious. i couldn't sleep. mr krupski was personally praised by tesla owner elon musk after putting out a fire. he claims his managers turned against him when he raised his concerns directly with the tech billionaire. he then told us he found he could easily access a huge trove of sensitive internal company data, ranging from personal staff details to safety information. he chose to hand it over to us regulators and, controversially, the press. i spoke to multiple hr partners, managers, different levels of compliance, and it didn't work. if you don't speak to compliance, what else you can do? the dutch data protection authority, where tesla's european h0 is, are looking into the data breach. some of what mr krupski says he saw continues to alarm him. i found that the car unexpectedly brakes out of nowhere, because it interpreted a shadow as, let's say, some obstacle and needs to suddenly brake. and that can put the car in danger and everyone behind as well. last month, the government announced new proposals for driverless car regulation here in the uk. in san francisco and beijing, you can hire a taxi with no human driver at all. but are we ready for the tech? so it might be relatively easy to get the technology to drive relatively safely on, say, a motorway, which is already quite a controlled environment. it might be next to impossible to get it to drive safely through central london so that we can all be really confident that it causes no additional risk. but that's all a long way away from the hype that's currently coming from the people developing the technology. do you think that tesla autopilot is safe? unfortunately not. i don't think the hardware is ready and the software is ready. so even if you don't have a tesla, your children still walk on the footpath. i have this terrifying feeling that one day a car mightjust harm them. tesla did not respond to our emails. according to its own data, at the end of 2022, us tesla customers using autopilot averaged one crash where the airbag deployed roughly every five million miles traveled. tesla drivers not using it averaged once every 1.5 million miles or so. the us driver overall average was once every 600,000 miles, but we can't independently verify tesla's figures. meanwhile, the first delivery of the car—maker's latest vehicle, the cybertruck, went ahead in the us last week. tesla's boss elon musk continues his push for a driverless future, and the uk aims to be on a similar track. zoe kleinman, bbc news. more detail on the serious incident in

still missing. there were 75 hikers in the area during the main eruption on sunday, but most were have been safely evacuated. sunday's eruption at mount marapi was the deadliest since 1979, when an eruption killed 60 people. to new zealand next where there's been a day of peaceful protests and demonstrations across the country against the newly—formed coalition government on the opening day of parliament. maori leaders are calling for action against government policies which limit co—governance. they say the policies are an assault on some indigenous new zealanders and the treaty of new zealand's founding document. a decade—long wait for gamers is over. finally a trailer for the sixth main game in the grand theft auto series has been released. rockstar games released it earlier than expected after it first leaked online. it's predecessor is the second best selling video game of all time, behind only minecraft. our technology correspondent, marc cieslak, reports. lucia, do you know why you're here? bad luck, i guess. critically acclaimed, commercially lucrative and controversial in equal measure. well, look who's back! the official announcement for grand theft auto 6 arrived 15 hours earlier than expected, due to its developer's worries over leaked footage. it's mad. any leak, any detail, any of the smallest insights, this is the gaming story of the year, and it's just a trailer. the game is not even out this year. a blockbuster with its roots in the uk, the company behind gta, rockstar games, celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, with this trailer revealing the next instalment in the series. 0riginally called dma design, its developers were based in dundee. the first grand theft auto looked very different from the game we know today. even this 2d top—down version proved controversial. 0ld news report: it's been widely criticised for its violent content. under proposals being considered by the home office, a health warning would be flashed up on the screen at the start, reminding players not to drive like this on the roads. it's a series of games that's always managed to offend somebody. more recent outings have heavily leaned into dark humour and satire in between all of the car chases and criminality. it's been ten years since gta v released, and it's still regularly topped sales charts, racking up over £6 billion in revenue. an innovative and immersive game world, gta v's fictional city of los santos allows players to indulge in everything from extreme sports to watching in—game tv shows. i think the essential ingredients of a gta game are almost like rebelliousness and a freedom to be the naughty version of yourself, things that we obviously can't do in real life and none of us really actually want to, but the gta games are criminal simulators. this first look at gta 6 reveals the game is set in a location similar to miami, vice city, and the wider state of leonida. it's the first time these games have featured female and male lead characters. they spent over $1 billion on it. this is going to be the most expensive game ever made. we'll have to wait until the game is released in 2025 to see if gta6 lives up to the series' legacy of lawlessness. some parts of scotland and northern ireland started the day with some frost. in the next few days temperatures will climb. they will get into double figures. it

cloud will build, wind will strengthen, rain will arrive. with that will come milder conditions. it is still going to be a cold day. 0vernight, wednesday to thursday, thursday itself, as this band of rain pushes north and bumps into the cold air we could see some disruptive hill snow across northern england and the hills of scotland, but it will be transient, behind it, a return to brighter skies and also some showers. milder across the board. beyond that, low pressure comes in from the atlantic through friday and into the weekend. the weather is going to remain unsettled. it will be cloudy and wet at times. it is also going to be windy at times as well. but compared to the temperatures and weather we had last weekend, temperature are going to be higher, with most of us getting into
